Anna Nightingale
Anna Nightingale is an internationally acclaimed abstract expressionist painter who spends her time working between London, Luxembourg City and Gozo; a small island 93km south of Sicily and 288km north of Africa. “A great painting is not just a work of Art; each one is a story with its own active message. Anna Nightingale is a master story teller.” A.J.QUINNELL, late international best selling author.
A fine art painting graduate of Central Saint Martins, Anna has built international acclaim from her studios in Malta and Luxembourg. Anna is the director of intimate life drawing events, and most proudly the mother of James
“The Path to Loving Myself
My recent collection of paintings is, quite simply, a passionate love story. It reflects a newfound conscious awareness and spiritual growth that has unfolded over the past two years.
The works portray an unbreakable union with my higher self, who is the female star of the paintings. She is the one who gently healed my broken heart and awakened me to a profound truth: I am the creator of my own life. She showed me that I could shine on my own, without needing love from another.
Through this journey, I not only recognised my tendency toward overthinking, but I also learned how to cultivate a healthy relationship with my heart and myself. This emotional intelligence is something we all need—it is a powerful and protective life skill.By practicing forgiveness and gratitude, my higher self and I healed on a deeply connected, cellular level.
As I fall asleep and as I wake, I now feel divinely blessed to simply be alive. I began to rise with divine courage and wonder, shedding all fear and choosing to always trust my instincts. With continued practice and understanding, I started to experience synchronicities—beautiful validations from the universe.
By trusting the process of life and maintaining an unwavering belief in miracles, I finally fell in love with my own heart.
I am deeply grateful to those who have walked beside me on this journey, especially during times when I was unsure of who I was. To those who love me and always will—your guidance and life lessons have brought me to this place, exactly where I want to be.
Immense gratitude to my beautiful son, James.”
Gabriel Buttigieg - Artist
I have had the good fortune of knowing Anna Nightingale for a number of years, in my capacity as visual artist. Her interest in my work has been constant, and this continued collegiality was the impetus for her invitation to put forward my thoughts about her forthcoming artistic exhibition at the Postal Museum in Valletta.
The hallmark of Anna’s artistic enterprise is her candid authenticity. Her soul radiates sensitivity and emotive intuition, facets of which are always present in her work, adding layers to its validity. She employs her artwork as a cathartic medium, creating atmospheric artistic ambiences which reflect her voyage through life, with its elations and turbulences.
Her paintings are a literal and metaphorical abstract rendition of the spaces which carve her life and her humanity. In abstract art, transcendence and an element of aura are the fundamental starting points of the viewer, with Anna employing a dramatically vibrant palette to give a palpable rendition to her emotions and thoughts. In this vein, the nonsensical assumes meaning and the absurd is rendered moot, when the soul of the artist is laid bare.
